List of Ingredients




1 quantity My Mince
675g floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper
65g butter
150-200ml full cream milk
salt and freshly ground black pepper


Recipe



You will need:

Saucepan, potato masher, wooden spoon, oven proof dish

Pre heat the oven to 200°C/gas 6. While the mince is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Cook the potatoes by boiling them in their skins, baking them in the oven or micro waving them. Peel while still hot and mash thoroughly in a saucepan with 50g of the butter. Season with salt and beat well over a low heat, gradually adding the milk, until the mash is light, fluffy and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

To assemble the pie, spoon the mince into a pie dish. Dot the mashed potato over the top and smooth down, and then make patterns in the surface with a fork. Dot with the remaining butter and bake in the oven until the pie is heated through and the topping is golden brown. Serve immediately.
